may i ask why you want one? and have you driven a car with one before? the reason i ask is because i had always thought of getting one until a mate got one. i didn't like it at all. made the gears feel more notchy. i didn't like it at all.

I put GFB short shifters in both of my previous WRXs, I just like the shorter throw even though it may take a little more effort, the GFB ones are also adjustable in the amount of throw they have , I prefer just off the shortest which is just off the harder to shift end.

I have'nt driven or had one in a Skyline but I imagine the same scenario will be in play hence my question about type of shifter to see if some may be friendlier than others.

I've got a C's short shifter in mine and a solid gearbox mount. I don't like a sloppy box. It's nice and toight now :)

The only C's ones I coud find were for R33s and RRPing at around $760.00+frieght which is more than I'm prepared to pay by a long chalk, do you know if the R33 C's ones are a fit for the R34GTT box ?

If they are and a second handy pops up I might have a go at it.

:D

Well driftshop.com.au sell a C's 'Design' short shifter, reducing throw by 30% and also a B&M short shifter, but neither say they are compatible with R34's

I wouldn't mind getting one myself, but want to get something that is more than a 10% throw like the nismo one, im not sure if the one on RHD is the 10% or a 25% decrease in shift though.

J34, mind telling us where you got yours? or did it come with the car?

I'm presuming that the one that reduces the throw 10% is just a shortened version of stock and the 25% or so reducer is the kit version ????????????

I EM'd Driftshop yesterday and am waiting a reply.

I wonder if there would be enough interest to get a small group buy up and running ?

:D

i know this is going to start a shit storm, but you can make a short shifter simply by cutting down the stock shifter. it's simple physics.

by the way, anyone who doesn't agree, feel free to argue this because i have diagrams and pictures proving i am right, LOL. had this arguement many many times before.

Absolutely correct hence my previous post and the 10% question, a genuine short shift requires the movement of the pivot point of the gear lever itself which I presume the scandalously priced "kits" do here is one example of a trader who should be rooted with thier short shiter just on the price alone as an example.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
